  1. Only reason I came in here is cos I had my own mix of this I made a while ago, which I never really released. Heres an old version of this I still had uploaded: http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/ForestFinal4.mp3 Taucer was going to do guitar but apparently forgot about me... :(

    Your mix is, honestly, nice. Arrangement isnt outstanding: the bassline pattern is pretty much the same, as is song structure, and the piano alterations are obvious, though personally I liked them. Sound quality wise, I cant say too much because I'm on bad speakers, but the reverb is just touching on a bit much. The balance between instruments isnt bad at all, however i feel the piano could be brought out more. The piano could also be more defined, it sounds a little fuzzyish to me. The guitar having the string slide sound so in front was a bit off putting to me, especially with the delay on it.

    I can feel the peice building into a ...(climax doesnt seem a fitting word) ... 'eruption of warmth n sound', as cheesy as that sounds (stfu, I'm sick and out of it).

    All in all, I'd say arrangment is too weak for OCR but given their recent passes, i'd say if you focus on sound quality and realism, this should get on. The major thing holding it back would be the realism of the piano. Nice track, and good luck

  2. The last time this thread popped up the following mixers confirmed they were working on something:

    DarkeSword

    DZComposer

    I can say that since that thread my track has doubled in length but got to a position where I don't want to pick it up again, so I probably won't be finishing mine. Not sure about the others but V said this:

    oh i remember that!! Totally forgot about this song.... (wow, those first drums need some smoothness to em...). Yeh I'm done with that song, not going back there....

  3. OK.... I'm sorry....

    I have failed...

    Well I havnt failed, really... my vocalist has. They refuse to actually record anything or do anything. Sooo... I'm stuck with my instrumental part with no way to grow it until i get her voice. Sucks hey.

    So I quit. Heres the mix so far.

    I'l; be working on sound quality of World Map 2, submitting it when i'm happy with it. Any comments on it I should keep in mind?

  4. I prefer popular UK rhythm/style over the popular US styles (that said, I dont know all subgenres). I prefer the way the words roll, the sounds, mostly the bigger focus on the melody rather than the beats (from my observations)

    Given a choice, I'd take the 'Streets' ... nice melody + clear (not too crisp) beats + nice lyrics with a fairly abstract flow. Though I dont know if he classes as hiphop really....

  5. Thanks for the cool comments... I'l keep working on it, balancing it out, and then might submit it if I can be bothered....hahahaha, when I asked what else would be nice, I thought people would only list like 2-3.... :P

    I have started a new mix, it'l be a suprise

  6. Depends on the song really.... Usually however, I make the lead riff and acouple of additives just to see if I can write the song the way I want it to sound, then jump back to the begining and lay down the intro, bassline progression first. I used to attempt to beatbox to the song too, to hear what type of drums I want, what sounds good where. Then Malcos released his Vocal Refil for Reason, and so I use his loops to give me an idea of texture if I get stuck.

    Im in a similiar situation with you: I have ideas, but never really get into the mix. I feel too limited... I end up making like a 8 second section which mixes some song, then it becomes more of an original, just ignoring the source's progression and themes, and doing what sounds good. But its still good practice.

  7. With the recent revelation of remixers rarely checking this forum (I already knew this)

    I though more people take up requests... That was a suprise to me really...

    As was how AWESOME this music is.

    Iv only played Silent Hill 1 once, and I played that on mute cos I had someone sleeping on the couch where I was playing it. I should try em again, but I dont really play many games now...

    Im into structure atm (cant do much sound quality while my parents are visiting) so i'l see what I can shovel out, if anything. I got 4-5 songs I'm liking. I'l keep ya updated

  8. Ok well, I did what I could in the 10 minutes I had alone, before my parents came back, thinking I'l work on it over the weekend. Wrong. My parents have decided they want to stay at my place til next Friday. That means no speakers, no mastering, only earphone work, and that means innaccurate. So rather than do no work on it for over a week, then work on it, finding I'v lost my passion, and then fucking it up, I thought I'd save you all the time and just post what I got. Opinions will be noted, so comment away: I am still thinking of cleaning it up eventually, mabey submitting it (sorry my parents deciding to stay a week has killed my musical/life drive for the moment.....)....

    I like the visual: for some reason I can see a group of hero's braving the elements and attempting to travel by foot through the wilderness in terrible conditions (for some reason, I keep seeing a snowstorm on a mountain path) just to get to the next township...

    Hope you guys like it, comment away.. and if you want, recommend me another song that might work in a similiar style (I only listened to 2 songs before finding World map 2) i'l see if i'm inspired...
